Skills:
I have 30 years experience making people look good on video for broadcast TV producing programs and commercials and live corporate events. For the last ten years I've worked producing corporate AV events as a video technician setting up gear inside ballrooms then operating graphics and video playback until I moved up to technical directing.

I can do that, yet my specialty is operating the long lens camera for hours and days, shooting speakers for I-Mag during conventions, seminars and symposiums. I have over 12,000 hours behind a camera recording POTUSes, CEOs, Executives, story tellers, motivational speakers, small business men and women, and everyday people alike.

I work with AV teams from across America: alternately leading, being a team member or following the client’s lead: whatever will help the event succeed.

I’ve owned a teleprompter and have operated teleprompters for network broadcast, in shooting commercials and live corporate events. I’ve assisted professional speakers and helped in-experienced speakers learn to read a teleprompter like a network news broadcaster.

I own an HD field production kit, including: Sony NEX-EA50 camcorder with Prime lenses, wireless and wired lavalier microphones and a full Arri Fresnel lighting kit.
